Director of Student Ministries - St. Mark's United Methodist Church

What if your next move helped you thrive in both life and work?

Imagine living in a welcoming, growing community where one can focus on what matters most in one's life and career. In Lincoln, Nebraska, affordability is a real advantage, with housing and the overall cost of living well below the national average. One will find friendly neighborhoods, strong schools, locally owned restaurants and coffee shops, and easy access to parks and outdoor spaces. It is a place where life feels grounded, vibrant, and full of opportunity to grow in ministry and life.

At St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Lincoln, NE, we are seeking a relational, creative Director of Student Ministries to help shape the next chapter of our student ministry, rooted in connection, faith formation, compassion, and justice. We deeply value authentic relationships and meaningful outreach and are looking for someone who shares that heart. This person will build trust with middle and high school students, cultivate a strong sense of belonging, and walk alongside them as they grow in their faith.

This is a unique opportunity to invest both inside and outside the church, creating spaces where students feel known, welcomed, and inspired to live out the teachings of Jesus in real and tangible ways. We are ready to support a leader who brings fresh vision, clear communication, and a passion for innovation. We are looking for someone who can honor our history while courageously guiding us forward with clarity.

The leader we are looking for is adaptable and empowers others rather than carrying it alone. One will equip volunteers, develop student leaders, and help build sustainable systems that allow both students and leaders to flourish over time at the second largest church in the Great Plains United Methodist Conference.

If one is energized by developing young leaders, fostering spiritual transformation, and creating a ministry where every student belongs, we invite you to join us in this meaningful work.
